intervention programs to cover at least 73 of most
vulnerable sub-districts within FTF zone
• FTF nutrition programs are linked to both agriculture and
health interventions
• WASH program implemented in selected sub-districts
linked to nutrition programs
• GHI funding a food security and nutrition monitoring
system
• Research on innovative, market-based approaches to
improving nutrition 3

MISSION – Lessons Learned
• Positive internal relationship between offices influences relationships among implementing
partners
• Nutrition projects should participate in FTF and GHI
partner meetings to promote collaboration
• Include nutrition indicators in mission-level FTF
management system
• Nutrition projects should collaborate with both
Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture for
sustainability of ag-nutrition interventions
• Front Office support

oTechnical officers, peer
facilitators with community
groups and INGOs

How we implement FFS
• Bimonthly meetings of PLW at a learning plot
• Support with seeds of nutrient-rich vegetables for
two seasons
• Support with poultry sheds for chicken rearing
• Harvest are primarily for consumption

How ENHA is integrated into FFS • Training SPRING FFS field
facilitators on ENHA
• FFS guide was revised to
incorporate nutrition and hygiene
sessions
• ENHA messages were streamlined
to key “small do-able actions”
e.g. tippy taps
• Key messages and practices are
repeated at each session
• Sessions are practical and attend
to immediate agricultural,
nutrition or hygiene concerns
raised by the mothers

How ENHA is integrated into activities of agriculture projects
•Key messages on
dietary diversity,
women’s nutrition and
hygiene are integrated into
courtyard sessions
•Co-targeting with
WorldFish, USAID
Horticulture project
•Serve as advocates
to predominantly male
members of the community

being centrally awarded
• USAID's insistence to partners to collaborate
- firm, repeated, encouraged
• USAID’s comfort with shared attribution
• Supportive nutrition and health partners
within GOB
• GOB’s Department of Agricultural
Extension’s willingness to collaborate

Lessons learned from implementation
• Seek for mutual benefit, understand
collaborators
• Start small, be practical
• Share the results, coordinate and constantly
engage GOB, partners and collaborators
